Hi, I'm Kushtrim Hamzaj.
I’m an interaction designer and typographer based in Munich, Germany. I consult teams and brand owners in optimizing their digital experiences.

⚫ UX Design ⚫ UI Design ⚫ Generative Design ⚫ Typography ⚫ User Research
⚫ Prototyping ⚫ Design Thinking ⚫ Creative AI ⚫ Creative Coding ⚫ Programming

I specialise in user experience design, typography and information design, data visualization and design thinking. In my work, I aim for researching, analysing, proposing, prototyping and teaching new processes and systems to influence the overall aesthetic, functionality, and user experience of user interfaces. My design process involves working with new emerging technologies, particularly creative and generative AI, to create new and innovative design processes. I do quantitative and qualitative user study work, but have an emphasis on qualitative research methods, such as interviews, observation and field studies.

Academic Endeavours and Professional Activities.

My academic activities are based at Bauhaus University in Weimar, where I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Markus Weisbeck and Prof. Dr. Christof Windgätter. My doctoral research explored the intersection of machine learning (ML) and variable fonts (VL), investigating how this combination could influence the evolution of user interfaces from non-intelligent designs into smart, context-aware entities. As part of this work, I led workshops and delivered lectures at numerous international universities and institutions, including Bauhaus University in Weimar.

My consulting activities are associated with Munich University of Applied Sciences, where I am supporting the "Prof:inSicht" team as a user experience and user interface designer. Previously, I have worked and collaborated with numerous startups and design agencies including Brandcode, Evernine and Soellner Communications. Additionally, I am also the co-founder of “AITYDE”, an online research platform for exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in the realms of typography and design. Use cases range from adaptive variable font systems to context-aware user interfaces.

Get (or keep) in touch.

Collaboration has always been an integral part of my work, and I look forward to connecting with new people, exploring new ideas, and developing exciting projects together. Therefore, if you have any questions or would like to discuss potential projects or collaborations, feel free to email me or give me a call.
